Charity Walk for Peace 2017 – walk with us!

Completely free to enter and open to people of all ages and abilities, this fantastic event is a 5 mile walk in vibrant East London aimed at bringing together communities and supporting over 250 UK charities.

Not only this, but the event is Match Funded*, meaning all the money you raise for OCD Action will be DOUBLED by the Walk for Peace's organisers.

Every £10 raised will be worth £20 to OCD Action.

This means you can raise TWICE as much to help people with OCD without having to do anything extra yourself.

The Charity Walk for Peace is an initiative of AMEA, an auxiliary organisation of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK. Our community advocates peace, tolerance and harmony in the society. Our Motto is “Love for All Hatred for None” and our volunteers work tirelessly to support the many noble causes to serve the communities we live in. Charity Walk for Peace is an annual event and over the past decade we have raised over £3.5 million which has been distributed to over 250 UK registered charities including The Royal British Legion, British Heart Foundation, Age UK, We are Macmillan as well as many small local charities.

N.B. If you are setting up a JustGiving page for the event, you need to choose Charity Walk for Peace as your charity, and write at the top of your page that the money you are raising is for OCD Action. If not, it will not be eligible for Match Funding.

OCD Action's Vision

OCD Action works for a society where OCD is better understood and diagnosed quickly, where appropriate treatment options are open and accessible, where support and information is readily available and where nobody feels ashamed to ask for help.

We are here because OCD tears families apart and leaves people isolated and exhausted. OCD ruins lives. It is a sad fact that many people with OCD delay seeking help. They put up with it for too long, perhaps thinking that nothing can be done or just not knowing where to turn. OCD Action believes in taking action. We want people affected by OCD to seek help, to understand their treatment options and find the support and motivation they need to fight back. OCD is treatable, it can get better.
